A brand new network of seven screen academies to educate and train new filmmaking talent will be developed across England, Scotland, and Wales.  The academies will provide new courses (including the first ever film MBA), summer schools, work placements, master classes, bursaries, online learning resources and a talent scout programme to help develop the brightest and the best. 
 
The Screen Academy Network, which includes a Film Business Academy, is endorsed by the UK film industry as providing the best education and skills development for the future workforce at a further, higher and postgraduate level.  The network is tackling the creative development and skills needs of all jobs across film from script development through to exhibition, covering both new entrants and professional development for the existing workforce.
